A Simple Accounting Framework for the Effect of Resource Misallocation on Aggregate Productivity
Aoki, Shuhei - 2008
This paper develops a simple accounting framework that measures the effect of resource misallocation on aggregate productivity. This framework is based on a multi-sector general equilibrium model with sector-specific frictions in the form of taxes on sectoral factor inputs. Our framework is...

The Verdoorn Law: Some Evidence from Non-parametric Frontier Analysis
Destefanis, Sergio - 2002
In this paper we show how the nature of economies of scale can be assessed using a set of procedures based on non-parametric frontier analysis. Through these procedures it is possible to characterise qualitatively the nature of returns to scale for each observation, yielding important...
